| 20090214220 | Electronic device - The main power source unit of an image read-out device supplies power to an laser diode (LD) power supply unit of an electronic cassette through a contact. The LD power supply unit supplies the supplied power to a laser diode (LD), as power used for emitting laser light, and also supplies a portion of the supplied power to an LD power supply unit of the image read-out device through a contact. The power supplied to the LD power supply unit of the image read-out device is supplied as power for emitting laser light to an LD of the image read-out device. When there is a change in the relative position of the casings of the electronic cassette and the image read-out device, the contact and electrical continuation of the contacts breaks and laser light stops being emitted from the LDs. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20080212271 | Display element, portable equipment and imaging device - A flexible display element capable of being rolled up and unfurled, comprises a back plate covering a back side of the display element, wherein the back plate comes into contact with the back side of the display element when the display element is rolled up, and at least a central portion of the back plate is separated from the display element to support the display element in a flat shape when the display element is unfurled. Thus, the display element and the back plate can be rolled up and carried with a simple configuration of the display element and the back plate, and the display element can be supported in a flat shape when unfurled. Therefore, it is possible to provide a flexible display element having high portability, ease of rolling, and retention of flatness during periods of use. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20100149355 | REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE, METHOD AND SYSTEM - According to a remote control device of the present invention, the operation situation according to the transmission of the remote control signal is judged based on a changing brightness of the image, and the information of the content according to the result of judgment is displayed. Thereby, it is possible to investigate a reaction of the apparatus to be controlled to the remote control signal, and visually indicate the reaction to the user. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100177038 | PORTABLE DEVICE - According to the portable device of an aspect of the present invention, the first enclosure and the second enclosure are brought into movable linkage between the first position where the silhouettes of the first enclosure and the second enclosure are overlapped and the second position where the second enclosure is moved in parallel from the first position. In addition, the first enclosure and the second enclosure are rotatably and movably linked between the first position and the third position where the second enclosure is rotatably moved from the first position at a predetermined angle. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100182288 | DISPLAY ELEMENT, PORTABLE EQUIPMENT AND IMAGING DEVICE - A portable equipment includes a flexible display element capable of being rolled up and unfurled, the display element including a back plate on a back side of the display element, which comes into contact with the display element when the display element is rolled up, and is bent such that at least a central portion of the back plate is separated from the display element due to a bend when the display element is unfurled, flatness of the display element being kept by a structure made up of the display element and the back plate when the display element is unfurled, and a pull-out slot for the display element on a main body of the portable equipment. The pull-out slot is flattened by a predetermined amount from a cross-sectional shape of the unrolled back plate, and has a clearance formed on a portion facing a surface of the display element. | 07-22-2010 |

| 20080216311 | Producing method of solid state pickup device, and attaching method and device for the same - A producing method of producing a solid state pickup device is provided. Imaging elements are formed on a wafer in a matrix form. Each of the imaging elements has a light receiving surface and plural contact points. Receiving surface border portions are formed on a glass plate to protrude therefrom in a matrix form by etching. The receiving surface border portions are attached to the wafer to surround the light receiving surface in each of the receiving surface border portions. The light receiving surface is spaced from the glass plate. The glass plate is diced outside respectively the receiving surface border portions, to form shield glass for covering the light receiving surface. The wafer is diced for each of the imaging elements, to obtain the solid state pickup device having the shield glass and one of the imaging elements. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20100066863 | IMAGING APPARATUS WITH DISPLAY AND IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS - A digital camera is provided with a vertically long camera body having an approximately rectangular solid shape. An LCD panel provided in a rear surface of the camera body is arranged such that longitudinal directions of the display screen and the camera body correspond to each other. The digital camera is operated through a touch panel provided in a lower portion of the display screen.

| 20090249177 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CREATING ALBUM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A required number of images for creating an album are compensated using existing still images, and an album with a fine appearance is created by effectively using a small number of available still images (still images in stock). A value N, which is obtained by subtracting the total number of selected images from the total number of images that a template of a photo album requires (the total number of combination frames), is determined as the minimum number of shortfall images that are required for compensating the shortage of images. An image (original image for creation) appropriate for the original, from which images for compensating the shortage of images are created, is selected from among selected images. New images are created by applying a predetermined image processing to the selected original image for creation, until the minimum number N of shortfall images is satisfied. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090249196 | CALENDAR OUTPUTTING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE SAME, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A size of a region to be allocated to an image layout date is bigger than a size of a region to be allocated to a date other than the image layout date (image-not-layout date). An image to be allocated to the image layout date is enlarged so that a size of the image matches a size of an allocation region allocated to the image layout date, and the enlarged images is laid. Characters indicating the dates are arranged to regions allocated to previous dates, the image layout date, and following dates. Accordingly, a calendar with an attractive appearance can be generated by altering the layout of the dates and information to be output, even if a user has taken photographs on not so many days in the unit such as a month or a week. | 10-01-2009 |
